my children also think i am silly for doing so many things the “old school” way, but at least one son has realized, i save money, the environment, and gain much needed exercise. plus, when doing it myself i receive the bonus of a little self pride.

Another (non-financial) issue I have with all of this junk is what to do with it when it breaks? I have a whole drawer full of non-working cell phones. The landfill doesn’t need them!

About 20 years ago, my calculator was goofing up, and I totally messed up the checkbook before I realized what was going on. I use one once in a while to double check long columns of figures, but the calculator between my ears works just fine, thank you, (never needs batteries).
